I know most of you think I'm nuts and you're probably right. There have been many posts about how hard it is to remove a tube from a LC housing that has been siliconed in. I've tried many solvents to soften the glue with mixed results. 35 years ago, I used to be a auto mechanic. That was about the same time the automotive industry started using silicone as a stand alone gasket material. One of the places we discovered that you could not use it was the fuel system. Remembering that, last night I set a tube/coupling in a bucket of fresh gasoline. This morning I popped out the tube with little resistance. You still have to remove from the sides as much of the glue as you can but what is between the tube face and the coupling has always been a issue. The gas solves that in short order. Don't smoke and be sure to leave it soaking in a well vented area without a source of ignition as fumes from the gas are explosive so letting it soak outside is a good idea. Good luck.

Guys!
At VDC they put the tube in a 200^F oven for a spell, same results maybe faster.

I thought about putting it in the oven to speed up curing the glue.

I took tubes out of an Ampro 4600 very easily, ditto for the 1209s. With an Xacto blade, it takes maybe 10 minutes for the Ampro, 20 for the BArco. It's the 9500 housings that are a bitch, esp. if they are old, say from 1995 or so.

It was a 9500 LC that I was pulling the tube from.
